 “Swarm” is the work of local artist\, and Associate Professor at New Mexico State University\, Julia Barello.  She works with discarded x-ray film that is dyed and intricately cut into shapes inspired by nature. Her obsessive\, jewel-toned installations are created by arranging the film into patterns and pinning it directly to the wall.  Julia Barello’s artwork has been exhibited across the country and she was recently awarded Best in Show\, Alternative Media at the 2008 Southwest Biennial at the Albuquerque Museum.
 
 
 “Mirage\,” the work of jewelry artist Rachelle Thiewes\, is also on display.  This collection\, constructed of steel\, silver\, and automobile paint\, was inspired by “the interplay of light and shadow and the resulting distortions of reality.”  Thiewes’ unique jewelry is held in the permanent collections of the Art Institute of Chicago\, the Museum of Fine Arts Boston\, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.  It has been featured in numerous publications\, including The Best in Contemporary Jewelry.  She is currently a Professor at the University of Texas El Paso.
